I'm making good progress on the repair of the quilt. I work on it most evenings.
On this star I replaced a solid medium blue that was worn thin with this tiny blue flowered print.
The same worn blue was replaced with this pale aqua and I think it is much prettier this way.
This star got a complete makeover. The fabric for all pieces was a gray blue with a white design and the fabric was quite heavy. These 2 fabrics with purple flow much better with the other stars and purple IS my favorite color. LOL.
I have a couple more stars to repair and then I will be hunting for a match to the pink, as close as I can find. Not all of it needs to be replaced, but a few pieces do as you can tell by the holes in this piece.
When I get it all repaired I will hand quilt the whole thing. Grandma's original machine stitching will come out as most of it is coming undone anyway as you can see above.

Great progress on the repairs to the quilt. I like what you've replaced, they fit with the rest of the quilt.
Nice work! That looks quite challenging!
